(excerpted from GreenGounded.com) "Gaiam is the new SIGG, in case you missed the BPA leaching heard ’round the world'

Twenty-times the leaching level as SIGG Bottles (manufactured before August 2008), and Gaiam did, indeed, market themselves as “BPA-free”.

THESE companies are why no one middle-America does not give a xxxx about “green” or “BPA” or “environmentalism“. They feel they cannot trust the words or the promises. (Yes, I, who do not cuss, just went there…)

Gaiam the world’s leading supplier of yoga inspired products, also continues to manufacture “PVC” yoga mats representing MILLIONS of “PVC” mat sales over the last decade including PVC yoga mats to kids (YogaKids Mats) …… Fashionably green? No, much worse……. ethically compromised and corrupt. Gaiam consciously strategically unapologetically sells PVC yoga mats because of the substantial profits it derives from the aggregate sales of mats.

Boycott, Gaiam!
